[moggy]

im looking to get the grey plastic strips running along the sides of my car body coloured.

does anyone know if they just slide off with a bit of force or if they are stuck on some other way.

thanks

I had similar rubber strips on my Audi A4, and there was a screw near the door hinge that secures the strip in place from the inside. After removing the screw it was just a case of sliding to one side and pull off.

 

I don't know if the C4 is the same?

Well mine will be getting done in a few days hopefully apparently they just clip on.

thanks guys, ill have a closer look,

Make sure you post some pix when done - I have black strips on my black car, but ideally I'd like them painted.

I was thinking about having mine done on the same metallis black as the spoiler...

[wozza]

In my opinion i think that might look a bit tacky or just not suit.

 

photoshop is needed though i think to see as it might look fairly good since your car is quite a dark colour i dont know.

I used "back to black" whenever they got "grey", and it looked good, even though they were not the same colour as the car.

That would go against my taste aswell.

I am in two minds to be honest, I quite like the difference as they are...like Ciaran said, a bit of tyre shine brings them up lovely, same on the strips behind the drivers door...

Then again i wanna paint my brakes red and also get my wheel centres like these ones with the red stripe

if I do go for none Citroen wheels then it will have to be OZ Michelangelo 10 in titanium. Not cheap...about £750 for 18's with tyres but they are looovly

Id like some superleggras in anthracite with a polished lip myself in a 19" wheel.

[Stuey]

that would look good too...

[Ciaran2903]

I was sure that i was ment to be doing something when i logged on to the internet :o ..........................

[Stuey]

I am sure there is something I should be doing too...the boss said something like "do some work you slacker" I didnt like his tone so I had him killed...

[wozza]

Just went and got some quotes to repair my scratch / dent along the passenger door and rear quarter and to do my rub strips and also change my A and B pillar black plastics to the black metallic colour of the spoiler...£300

 

Not bad it will be going in soon for that. Quite happy with that price though.

[Stuey]

thats not bad at all mate. it cost me £250 to have a new front wing sprayed although that was including the wing...not bad for 4 hours work...I wish I earned half that!!

 

I will check out what yours looks like in the flesh on the 9th and see what its like...

[wozza]

Well should come out looking like this.
